Just a note that I put together a small book that is somewhat like the Pirate Radio Directories of the 1990s. Those books were mostly profiles of all of the different North American pirates on the air.

This book also mostly profiles North American pirates, so it will primarily be of interest to North American DXers and those who listen (or want to) listen for North American pirates.

It does include profiles of the "top 10 easiest European Pirates to hear in 2009." There was no scientific basis for which stations were in here (but they had to be heard by more than just Terry & Dave...because they hear everything!). The stations included in this edition were Cupid, Mystery, Orion, Playback, Amica, Borderhunter, R. Scotland in't, Spaceman, Spider, & WMR. There are probably good arguments for FRSH & Black Arrow being in there, too (but they aren't, sorry).

All of that in mind, here is the ad that I've been posting on FRN & HF Underground:

It profiles 166 different shortwave pirates, programs, and relayed stations that were heard in 2009. Other features are profiles of the 10 best-heard European shortwave pirates in North America in 2009, plus information for beginners on tuning pirates and shortwave radio.
